“Accidentally Wes Anderson” is the duo’s brainchild, a platform that receives thousands of photographs of buildings, landscapes, and objects that follow the strict but convivial aesthetics of a Wes Anderson movie.
Each photograph in Accidentally Wes Anderson has been taken and shared by amateur and professional photographers who have “accidentally” stumbled upon a scene that ticks all the criteria. Those characteristics include visual symmetry, vintage styling, a kaleidoscope of pastel and saturated colours.
The photographs are complemented with their location address and a brief story of their use or origin. Every image becomes a potential travel destination for all or a mere addition to your list of random knowledge.
